Thanks for the reply. It's with 64MB of AGP memory which I guess is at
the low end these days. Would your reply mean that basically everyone on
2.6.27 should now be experiencing this?
I noticed it was PAT related due to Shaohua Li's:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121783222306075&w=2
which lists very different times (patch there did not help any).
As another by the way, probably not surprising but I earlier also tried
both unmounting and completely compiling out debugfs just in case I
was seeing a debugging related sysmptom. No help either.
It's evening here so I'll probably not be able to test until tomorrow.
Rene.
